Asia 2005 : Bali

Kuta, Bali's main resort, is designed for backpackers who never want to leave. Cheap hotels, ATMs, 24-hour supermarkets, laundry, massage, pirated DVDs, cheap surfing gear, never-ending happy hours.

I'd gone to chill in Bali and visit my friend Alys, who'd fallen in with a dodgy Indonesian called Nando who ran a surf shack on the beach. "I know you've always had dubious taste in men... but this one is the pits."
